Based on Rudyard Kipling's classic yarn, this rousing radio play tells the tall and timeless tale of two rogue soldiers/freemasons who set off from 19th century British India in search of adventure, and end up as kings of Kafiristan. Featuring a live rendition of the song sung by Brother Danny Dravot in the John Huston film, "Son of God Goes Forth to War" (set to the Irish tune "The Moreen"), and, as always, complimentary cocktails!
With Carlyle Owens as Brother Peachey Carnehan, Jeff Maschi as Brother Daniel Dravot, Laurence Mintz as Billy Fish, and Michael Jarmus as the Voice of Raconteur Radio (and assorted other characters).
Attention Freemasons! Don't miss our staged presentation of this rollicking adventure by freemason Rudyard Kipling, topfull with masonic myth and brotherly bonhomie. For the sake of the Widow's son!
